Lake Mead National Recreation Area

Yesterday afternoon we visited the Lake Mead Recreation Area.  This area starts just north of Bullhead City and goes north to totally include all of Lake Mead.  Also included in the area is Lake Mohave which is formed by the Davis dam on the Colorado river.  Lake Mohave is about 3 miles north of Bullhead City.  We drove around Lake Mohave and checked out a number of coves and recreation areas.  There are several boat ramps for the lake.  We see reports in the local paper that there is a lot of fishing being done just below the dam for the lake with some big Stripped Bass and Rainbow trout being caught.  The Trout are placed in the river each year.  The first picture below is a map of the recreational area.  The green area is the recreational area.  Lake Mead is at the top of the map and Lake Mohave is near the bottom.  Las Vegas is at the top left and Bullhead City is at the bottom.  The other pictures are of the scenery around Lake Mohave.

Just an interesting formation east of the lake.
